"A deeply personal approach to the questions that arise from the human condition and by avoiding clichéd answers he is able to send a very special message to those of us who are searching for the truth. Words of hope for anyone who is suffering from any kind of pain in their lives. ... Throughout his case studies, he points the way towards hope, peace and a future – and finally he steps back from individual tragedies to take in the larger picture. ... Luis's book of inspiration is so deeply meaningful it almost defies you to put it down."Warrington Guardian

"... a strong plea for the reader to receive the free gift of salvation. Palau writes in such a way that most readers would be compelled to read on.
